Automated Yoco Sales Forecast Alerts
Every hour during trading, WebRun checks today's running Yoco takings against your typical pace for that day of the week, sends you a WhatsApp message the moment today is tracking well behind, and emails a same day comparison once you close, so a slow day never goes unnoticed until it is over.
How do I know early if today's sales are tracking behind normal?
WebRun compares today's running Yoco takings against your typical pace for that day of the week, hour by hour, through trading. The moment today falls well behind, it messages you on WhatsApp so you can still act, and it emails a same day comparison at close, turning a slow day into an early nudge instead of a month end surprise.
- A slow day gets flagged with hours still left to act on it
- Every trading day gets an end of day comparison, without exception
- Alerts only fire when today is well behind, not on normal variation
Built for independent retailers · cafes and restaurants · salons · small chain owners

Questions, answered
What counts as a normal pace to compare against?
Your own typical takings for that specific day of the week, built from your recent Yoco history. It compares today to your own pattern, not to a generic benchmark.
Will it message me every hour?
No. It only messages WhatsApp the first hour today falls well behind pace. The end of day email is the only guaranteed message, sent every trading day either way.
Does it suggest what to do about a slow day?
No, it flags that today is behind pace and by how much, early enough for you to act, like running a promotion. What to do about it is still your call.
